The motor is probably okay. Looks like a 80/100 RC plane motor. 80mm diameter.
It's just that a seagull driveline is not going to be all that efficient and the motor will be noisy.
It might be okay.
I like the bodge side of it but if you bodge it then it's important that it works properly.
Although brushless is very good and very powerful it is not as quiet as brushed so I think given there is not a weight problem that a brushed e-scooter motor would probably be a better option for a seagull.
The brushed v brushless debate is never ending.
A nice thing about brushed motors is if you burn the controller you can direct attach to the battery and get the motor to turn.
Brushless are electronically commutated so if you burn the controller that's it unless you carry a spare.
A hazard with brushed motors is that if the controller does burn then if often means full power which in some situations could be quite dangerous.
